    I was ardy, to a place called Belderrig Beg, (I know that's not spelled right) If I remember correctly. It was in the Ballina area, and it was where my paternal grandmother was from. The ruins of the house where she was born were on the property.It was like farmland but close to the ocean (kinda hazy now though-- over 30 years ago) and it WAS beautiful. Unfortunately, now it's probably a bunch of condos filled with asylum seekers and a mosque close by. Ah Progress! (please excuse the bitterness);)


    Thank's for the headsup about the March show coming here. I wonder where they will put it on. Maybe Rogie can squeeze himself onto that one.:good

    Hello mike4819, I suppose it's possible Rogie could end of on that promotion, but if not, enjoy this.

    I went on to Garths excellent site and found Rogie's last fight.

    I wish I was. According to what I've been reading, about the assylum seeker and immigrant/invasion, there are 6 mosques in Ireland, and Islam is fastest growing religion!

    This is one of my favorite sites--- (irish-nationalism.net), unfortunately it's been down for about 5 days now.

    cuchulain, in actual fact,mike is 100% correct as there is a mosque in Mayo. A friend of mine was contracted as a pipefitter in a factory quite close to it.He assured me, there is one there.
